Susurkaev vs. McConico Pick, Prediction
Baisangur Susurkaev enters UFC 322 as the heaviest moneyline favorite on Saturday's card, after closing as a -1200 favorite in his UFC debut in August against Eric Nolan – just four days after his contract-winning performance on Contender Series.
Surukaev is the bigger man than McConico (2" taller, 2" reach advantage), and more than a decade younger than his opponent, too. He's also the more explosive and durable athlete, with a more well-rounded skillset.
McConico can navigate his way to a comeback when his opponents tend to fade. Still, Susurkaev, who seemed a bit diminished against Nolan, after cutting weight twice within the same week, is unlikely to leave a do.or open for him to rally late in the fight.
I do show a slight edge on Susurkaev's moneyline (projected -1058, listed -835 at BetRivers) or his odds to win by decision (projected +544, listed +600 at BetMGM), depending on the book. I would consider using his moneyline up to -1000 in a parlay; otherwise, I would likely pass on betting on this matchup.
Projection: Baisangur Susurkaev (91.4%)
Sean's Pick: Slight edge to Susurkaev to win by decision (+600) or Parlay his moneyline play elsewhere
